There are no pointer ones - so this looks good.

scipy.test(10,10) gives

You asked for warnings - well there are many, in various
parts. Somehow it would be nice to get rid of those,
as they distract from real problems, but it would be a big task.
Maybe new code should be required to be free of warnings...
Anyway, here is an incomplete overview:

- the usual _configtest.c ones ...
-
scipy/corelib/mtrand/mtrand.c: In function
`__pyx_tp_new_6mtrand_RandomState':
scipy/corelib/mtrand/mtrand.c:4908: warning: unused variable `p'
-
		Constructing wrapper function "dvode"...
warning: callstatement is defined without callprotoargument
		  y,t,istate =
dvode(f,jac,y,t,tout,rtol,atol,itask,istate,rwork

- many of the type:
  warning: 'ntry' might be used uninitialized in this function
  in various fortran sources
- gcc: Lib/special/cephes/simpsn.c
  Lib/special/cephes/simpsn.c:25: warning: 'simcon' defined but not used
- gcc: Lib/special/cephes/sincos.c
  Lib/special/cephes/sincos.c:232: warning: conflicting types for built-in
function 'sincos'
- gcc: Lib/special/cephes/euclid.c
  Lib/special/cephes/euclid.c:55: warning: 'radd' defined but not used
  Lib/special/cephes/euclid.c:90: warning: 'rsub' defined but not used
  Lib/special/cephes/euclid.c:124: warning: 'rmul' defined but not used
  Lib/special/cephes/euclid.c:157: warning: 'rdiv' defined but not used
- SuperLU: many  warnings (parentheses, implicit declarations, ...)
- Lib/integrate/__quadpack.h: In function `quad_function':
Lib/integrate/__quadpack.h:60: warning: unused variable `nb'
Lib/integrate/_quadpackmodule.c: At top level:
Lib/integrate/_quadpackmodule.c:17: warning: function declaration isn't a
prototype
